* I then learned that magic existed and that I was an even bigger part of it that I could ever have imagined. *
Before I knew it, I was boarding a scarlet train named the Hogwarts Express. It was there that I truly began to live. As I searched for a compartment with my cute little snow owl named Sky, a brown haired girl bumped into me. I realized with a start that she had been crying. When I asked her if she was all right, she just nodded and walked past me.
Honestly, I hate it when people tell you they're all right and it's obvious they're not. And this girl didn't look all right to me. So, I took her arm and continued my search for an empty compartment with her. She was obviously confused by why I was doing this.
I finally found a compartment. It was almost at the end of the train and as most kids were too lazy to walk all the way to there, it was mostly calm, except for a couple of loud laughs coming from the compartment next to the one I had just found.
Once inside, I finally asked the girl why she had been crying. I then learned that her name was Cady and that she was in first year too.
"Two boys were laughing at me because I didn't know how to enter the platform. They also called me a mudblood." Cady began crying again. I was feeling awkward, trying to comfort a girl I'd known for no more than ten minutes.
Suddenly, the door opened and a very angry boy appeared.
"Who has been calling you a mudblood?" asked the boy I'd later know as James Potter.
"And who told you you could eavesdrop?" I snapped at him.
At those words, the boy looked down and I felt instantly sorry for what I had just said. I knew he meant no harm, but something inside me told me to protect the wavy haired Cady, and protecting her included stopping others from seeing her cry.
I always hated it when people saw me cry. I felt so helpless and inferior. I just didn't want Cady to feel that way. I told the boy I was sorry I had snapped at him like that and went back to comforting Cady. A few minutes later, the train started to move and Cady had stopped crying. We then decided we could use some company and went to the compartment where I had heard loud laughs earlier.
Inside, three boys were playing exploding snap while another was moaning in pain, looking out the window. He probably wasn't feeling very well since his skin was slightly green.
None of them seemed to see us so I cleared my throat. The three who weren't sick spun around instantly and I blushed slightly when I recognized the boy I had snapped at.
"What are you two fine ladies doing in our humble compartment?" asked a black haired, blue-eyed boy with a bow.
Cady and I both giggled. The boys introduced themselves, and we did the same.
The boy who I had snapped at was James Potter. His unruly hair was dark brown and his eyes were chocolate brown. He had glasses and a charming grin. Even if he was only eleven then, I knew one-day girls would be all over him.
Sirius Black, with his black hair, blue eyes and manners would surely become a ladies man, just like his best friend James. The two were so alike, but so different at the same time.
The most timid of the three, Remus Lupin, was the nicest person I had ever met. With his dirty blond hair and his gray eyes, he was the responsible one of the group. Although he was just as much a prankster as the other two, he was the one assuring their pranks didn't go out of control.
The other boy, chubby and shy, was named Peter and the only thing I knew about him was that he hated traveling by train.
The rest of the ride passed by quickly, and I knew right then and there that I was going to stay with them for my whole seven years.
If I had just known how wrong I was. I wasn't going to stay seven years with them, but rather the rest of my life. It was them that helped me survive throughout everything life threw at me. I couldn't have lived without them. However, none of us knew that at that time. We were all careless and innocent, even though I doubt any of the marauders has ever been innocent.
